The Gentlemen quotes

  • Fletcher: He explodes on the scene like a millennial fucking firecracker. Bang, bang, bang, bang!

    Ray: I'm going to have to stop you right there, Fletcher. That doesn't sound like the Dry Eye I know.

    Fletcher: Just making sure you're paying attention, Raymond. So let's cut instead to a somewhat anticlimactic, but suave and debonair Dry Eye, like a Chinese James Bond.

  • Rosalind Pearson: Look, I don't want you knocking around here feeling all unemployed and lost with yourself.

    Mickey Pearson: Well, fuck me. Most wives would beg their other halves to get out of this game, but not you.

    Rosalind Pearson: That's because I know you, darling.
